Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space-Chapter 846: Negotiation ( 12 )

After he hung up the call with Xun Che, Jin Xuyan checked the calendar and saw the date: March 23rd, 2189.

In less than two months, winter will be over, and the extreme heat will return. He recalled that in his past life, the number of high-level mutants who turned into zombies after the winter was more than 40% of the total population.

Back then, no one could find the reason for their infection since mutants should be immune to the zombie virus if the carrier had a lower level compared to them.

The sudden infection across the world caught everyone off guard. The casualties were high, and countless bases were destroyed in less than a month.

Perhaps this matter had something to do with this so-called parasite.

Reaching this conclusion, all his drowsiness disappeared. When he turned to his side, he saw his fiancée had woken up and was staring at him.

"Brother Yan, what are you thinking about?" Jiao Lizhi asked.

"Just now, Xun Che called and asked us to go to the Green Lake Base. They found a parasite inside the mutants’ bodies and needed Mo Junjie and Beiye’s help."

Jiao Lizhi nodded and said, "We can leave anytime."

"Besides that, the Mo family agreed to let our team take 60% of the crystal cores. We will leave after we get the crystal cores."

When she heard this, Jiao Lizhi’s eyes lit up.

She had left 20% of their team’s crystal cores to compensate Xun Che when she took away the Sthanam crystal. The number of zombies in this attack was high, and most of them were level 2 and above. Based on this alone, they would be able to get a lot of crystal cores.

"That’s great!"

Seeing how happy she was, Jin Xuyan chuckled and pinched her cheek lightly. "Little money grubber."

The two of them went to wash up and have breakfast before they went to find their members. At this moment, the members were still busy clearing up the area outside the base wall.

Unlike the mutants from the Mo family or the ones sent by Xun Che, the Phantom Team members didn’t check the zombie corpses one by one for the crystal cores.

Standing behind the team, Qin Luzi and Gao Bohai created tornadoes to assist Shen Jinzhe, Li Qixuan, and Cheng Yue as they merged their fire with the tornadoes to burn the zombie corpses and melt the snow. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

After the fire tornadoes cleaned the area, Xiao Qi, Feng Yun, Pei Yizie, and Du Beiye would collect the scattered crystal cores on the ground.

With their good teamwork, their speed in cleaning up the battlefield was a hundredfold faster than the others. In just one day and one night, they had cleared more than 75% of the zombie corpses.

While they were busy, the rest of the members were not idle either. They either helped tend the wounded or repaired the wall.

When Jin Xuyan arrived, he joined the members to clear the battlefield. Behind him, Jiao Lizhi followed as if she were his little tail. She collected all the crystal cores without leaving anything behind.

They worked for several hours before they finally cleared the entire area. Checking his watch, Jin Xuyan said, "Everyone, take a break. We will go to the Green Lake Base after lunch."

Hearing this, the members exchanged glances but asked nothing. "Understood," they replied in unison.

Since they had collected all the crystal cores, it was time to divide them. The members handed all of the crystal cores they collected to Jiao Lizhi. After resting for 20 minutes, Jin Xuyan took her to meet with Wen Hanli and Mo Junlong.

When they arrived, Mo Junlong and Wen Hanli were having their lunch. Seeing how they chatted over the meal, Jin Xuyan raised his eyebrows.

Xun Che was lucky to have Wen Hanli to assist him. Without someone with good EQ and social skills to manage the people and relationships with other bases, it was impossible for the Lin’an City Base to develop so fast in less than a year.

Seeing them coming, Mo Junlong smiled. "Captain Jin, Comrade Jiao, have you both had lunch?"

Jin Xuyan pulled a chair for his fiancée before he took his seat. He didn’t refuse when Wen Hanli’s assistant served them food.

Today’s menu was Mapo tofu, creamy coleslaw, chicken and mushroom soup, and steamed rice.

When Jiao Lizhi and Jin Xuyan saw the menu, they glanced at Wen Hanli but said nothing.

This type of menu was normal for them since they had a lot of ingredients. But for Wen Hanli, even if he was the Vice Commander, it was rare for him to indulge in luxurious meals.

While they ate, they listened to the conversation between Wen Hanli and Mo Junlong. Although they didn’t know the entire conversation, they were still able to get a gist of their topic.

It looked like the change in Mo Junlong’s attitude should be connected to the food served on the table.

After the apocalypse, no one was able to find uncontaminated soil to grow crops yet. So far, many have tried to follow the Lin’an City Base’s method and grow their crops using a hydroponics system. But without enough water, it was impossible to have a good harvest.

Right now, Mo Junlong was trying to lobby Wen Hanli to agree to sell supplies to the Mo family.

When they had almost finished their meal, Mo Junlong finally said, "Vice Commander Wen, as long as you give us the priority right, we are willing to pay 5% more above the market price."

Hearing this, Wen Hanli swallowed his food, wiped his lips, and said, "Comrade Mo, it’s not that I’m unwilling to sell the supplies to you."

"But as you know, our base had a limited harvest, and we had signed a contract with more than 50 bases and 100 families. Even if we give your family the priority right, we still can’t give you the amount you ask for."

"Besides, the number of people in your family didn’t need that many supplies," he added meaningfully.
